Sure, it's cool to have Dwayne Johnson and Channing Tatum mounting the heavy artillery in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but what's really going to separate this film from 2009's coolly-received 'The Rise of Cobra' is going to be the ninjas. Branching out from the heated rivalry between archenemies Snake-Eyes (Ray Park) and Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun), this one also tosses in Elodie Yung as Jinx and Rza as the Blind Master.

Two new clips highlight the intense ninja action on display including an intense training session between the blindfolded Jinx and her master, Snake-Eyes. Well, it's mostly Jinx swinging wildly while Snake-Eyes makes her look foolish. The other is an extended four-minute sequence of the Snake-Eyes vs. Storm Shadow fight we've already seen. Both are worth checking out, and may be the best reason (other than Johnson, of course) to check out G.I. Joe: Retaliation on March 28th.
